There are some things about Finale 2006 that are much faster than 2005. Screen redraws are much better now. But there are a few areas that have slowed down to an annoying degree. Using a macro to change the time signature is one of those things that are very slow. I thought it wasn't even

I'm about to start creating a bunch of MP3 files that are recorded from my sound card playing back MIDI files created from Finale files. It seems to me when comparing these two files: http://www.dfenton.com/Midi/MozartK581Arr/MozartK581ArrA.mp3

David, Yes, I can hear a small difference. I know because I expected (before reading carefully) to hear the more compressed file first and noticed a slight veiling in the second sample. That said, I don't think it makes a whit of practical difference in demonstrating the arrangement to

There is quite a difference between 128K and 192K. However, considering the hideuos soundcard synth sounds, you may easily neglect it. As you say, in natural sounds, it makes quite a difference, but for the cheap synth sounds it doesn't really matter. I use finale as a notation program, not

Hi David, I know Cool Edit and the Adobe version are good programs. Your computer should be fine. Make sure you're running the latest version of XP. I think you can call Adobe tech support and maybe send them your old Cool Edit disk as proof of purchase. JS On Sep 25, 2005, at 5:33 PM,
